Kulturelle Folgen der Transformation von Landwirtschaft zu Energiewirtschaft

---

National (and transnational) regulations significantly transform rural areas. These changes can be exemplified through the recent developments in the field of energy production from biomass, which fostered the conversion of conventional agriculture towards localized energy industries. This is not simply an economic but also a cultural transformation. What happens when the social arrangements and cultural understandings change alongside shifting flows of energy, which developed through a particular energy regime?This volume describes the multiplicity of opportunities and failures connected to a strategy of advancing (a particular form of) renewable energy. The study elucidates how long-term objectives have to be disentangled into short-term, local processes of implementation.
